The latest addition to the 5 botanical gardens in Sri Lanka, the Seethawaka Wet Zone Botanical Garden in Avissawella was opened to the public towards the latter part of the year 2014. You can access the botanical gardens if you travel along the Puwakpitiya - Thummodara main road while the gardens will be adjacent to the Indikada Mukalana Forest Reserve in Avissawella. The drive from Colombo takes approximately an hour or slightly more.
This wet zone botanical garden covers a land area of 79 acres (32 ha) while the climate is quite cool and temperate. The wet zone plants are well nourished since there is a stream that flows through the garden. The gardens are yet to be expanded to 105 acres in the future.
Opening Hours 7.30 AM - 6.00 PM
Ticketing Hours 7.30 AM - 5.00 pm
